NOCTURNE-'Wakes' West Palm Beach, Florida

RUDE MECHANICAL PRODUCTIONS presents
NOCTURNE
By Adam Rapp
FOR TWO WEEKS ONLY

March 10th - March 18th, 2006

"Fifteen years ago I killed my sister". So begins Adam Rapp's highly
acclaimed play Nocturne, in which a thirty-two year old former piano
prodigy recounts the tragic accident that tore his family apart.
With a keen eye for human relationships and a deft ear for language,
Rapp explores the aftershock of this unimaginable event. The father
is so incapable of forgiveness that he puts a gun in his son's
mouth, the mother so shattered that she deserts the family and
eventually takes leave of her sanity altogether. The son—only
seventeen years old at the time—sets out for New York City. Across
the decade and a half that follows, he tries to cope with the
ramifications of his own anguish and the estrangement of his
surviving family while making a desperate search for redemption.
